Last Me Made May 2015

Saturday 30th May Me Made Dresses for two parties!, me made underwear and cardigans

Sunday 31st May - Me made everything

REFLECTIONS...

I, Catherine from http://clothesandsewing.blogspot.co.uk sign up as a
participant on Me-Made-May 2015. I endeavour to wear a cardigan I have
knitted at least once a week for the duration of May 2015, and refashion
at least one of my dresses into skirts by the end of May. I already
wear Me Made everyday but I don't wear my knitted cardigans enough and I
overwear a ratty old shop bought cardigan....

1. I have worn and worn my lovely knitted cardigans, and have nearly completed knitting another one (just have the sleeves and button bands to go). I need more short sleeve /sleeveless tops / dresses to go with the short cardigans OR I need more long sleeve cardigans to go with long sleeve tops/dresses.

2. I have not refashioned ANY of my dresses into skirts, but that is because I also have not finished a dress I am working on which I want to finish before I start the "mend/alter/refashion" pile.

3. I identified several times that I do not have any relax / mooch about at the weekend clothes - I have already made a pair of PJ bottom style trousers to fill this gap!

Looking at the above list and comparing it to my SWAP for 2015, I was on the right lines at the beginning of the year when I wrote my plan.... I need to start on sewing some long sleeve cardigan to fill that gap in my wardrobe!

SWAP - sewing with a plan.....here's the plan

1. 2 sets of lingerie (one white, one coloured)Completed white set May 2015

Impressive! So many complete me-made outfits... I'm really pleased that you successes in wearing your gorgeous hand-knitted cardigans. I can only imagine how much cosier and softer they are than mass-produced ones. xxx
